I have some expensive programs that work with windows, would they work with the Mac

I have always had windows and I have some expensive programs that I like to work with and was wondering if they would work on the IMac.  I have been considering changing for years but someone said my programs wouldn't work with Mac.  I have IPods, IPad and IPhones, so I am a little familiar with Apple

No, not unless you install Windows on the Mac.
A Windows app needs Windows. An OS X app needs OS X.
You can install and run Windows and Windows apps natively on an Intel Mac.

  • I have an optical mouse that came with my Mac Pro plugged into the USB port on the keyboard. After a year of working normally, the trackball all of a sudden stopped scrolling down. It scrolls up just fine, but not down. Any thoughts?

    I have an optical mouse that came with my Mac Pro, the only thing plugged into the USB port on the keyboard. After a year of working normally, the trackball all of a sudden stopped scrolling down. It scrolls up just fine, but not down. Any thoughts?

    Well
    I tried all of the suggestions, sort of. I did not have alcohol wipes, but I did take alcohol and pour some ona white paper towel and then rolled the mouse touch ball aroound and that finally cleared up the problem.  Just inverting it on paper did not do the reick, it needed some help with the alcohol.  Of course the probelm is the debris that gets inside and it really needs to come out.
    This is a huge problem for RIM devices users too.

  • Is there a program that works like the old iPhoto?

    Is there a program that works like the old iPhoto?
    The old iPhoto is my ideal program. Unfortunately, it does not work on my new operating system. I like having the ability to look over my images with a slide show. However, the new package folder does not give me complete access to my pictures. Is there a program that will have both slide show with music options, and the general folder for the files? I heard that Picasa was supposed to have a general folder, but it is using the iPhoto package.
    I have looked over the solutions to getting access to images from the iPhoto package mentioned in the discussion forum. I would like a simpler system that works like the old iPhoto. Is this a possibility? I do not feel comfortable putting my original photo files into a system that does not let me look at the file information, and I would like to have the original benefits of iPhoto tools.
    Thank you for your time.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    The current iPhoto is laid out specifically the way it is because of folks like you
    Since iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Package File. This is simply a folder that looks like a file in the Finder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
    Even in the old iPhoto it was never correct to access the iPhoto Library Folder.
    However, the new package folder does not give me complete access to my pictures.
    This is untrue. Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    There they all are.
    Standard Warning which applies to every version of iPhoto: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
    I do not feel comfortable putting my original photo files into a system that does not let me look at the file information
    What information are you missing? If you can tell us we may be able to help you more.

  • I just bought a 15" macbook pro, do the cds that come with the mac have the drivers i need to update windows after installing windows using boot camp?

    I just bought a 15" macbook pro, do the cds that come with the mac have the drivers i need to update windows after installing windows using boot camp?

    What DVDs are this ?
    If it is OSX Snow Leopard Installation DVD then yes this disc contains the BootCamp Drivers version 3.x and is needed after the installation of Windows to install the BootCamp Drivers.
    With OSX Lion BootCamp is at version 4.x and the BootCamp Drivers have to be downloaded during use of the BootCamp Assistant in OSX.

  • Is there an app that works like the Mac OS X "finder" for iPhone?

    Is there an app that works like the Mac OS X "finder" but to see files on the iPhone???

    Apps on the iPhone are sandboxed. That means they only have access to their own files. They cannot see the files of other apps or of the system. This is for security reasons.
    There are some apps that present a list of files, like Air Sharing, for you to manage, but there is nothing like the Finder.

  • Any avi to mp4 programs that work on the new iMac DC?

    Handbrake doesn't work yet. Anybody find something that works in the meantime?
    Thanks.

    Wow, you guys and gals with the Core Duo might be interested to know that I believe Handbrake is not supporting the 2nd core. Why do i think that?
    All the quick tests below are MP4 @ 1000 kpbs.
    Here at work we have a Pentium M 1.7GHz, it's averaging about 36fps, a Core Duo averages around 38fps. Becuase the Core Duo is built of the Pentium M line I think it's safe to guess that the 2nd core is not even being used. Imagine Handbrake using the 2nd core.
    Now if I am wrong and Handbrake is indeed using the 2nd core, it's a sad day for us all.

  • I accidentally uninstalled the audio program that came with the computer many years ago. Now I have no sound at all on the computer and can't get it back without a CD apparently - but I have none.

    Can I reinstall an audio program that I accidentally removed? Does Firefox have an audio program I can use instead?

    VLC is a great, Free, player -> http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
    But changes are if you have no sound, you did more than uninstall a player, you uninstalled the driver....

  • Created a dynamic form (saved as dynamic pdf) have an email link (that works), when the email is rec

    I have a dynamic form that I created and I need to get it posted but am having some issues.
    1. I need the fields to be optional and it tells me that the information entered is not what was expected
    2. I have a button to click that will send the completed form to a department mailbox, but when the form arrives it is a .xml and only contains the newly entered information. What did I do wrong? I saved it as a dynamic pdf.
    3. Is there a way to send you my form so that we can talk about it together???
    I am on the verge of tears with frustration.....

    Here is the warning message I get.  This is from the Preview PDF mode.
    cid:[email protected]
    I fixed the email buttons like you directed thank you!
    When I tried to the do the file save as for the reader extended pdf, this is all I get:
    cid:[email protected]
    I have working on this since January along with many other projects (mostly presentations) and the department that this form is for is chomping at the bit because they need to track their training requests coming in and are working to shift the process of how you request training for the entire enterprise.  I am attaching the form so maybe you can take a peek at the damage I’ve done ☺  I think it would be helpful if I took a class, everything I’ve done I’ve taught myself with trial and tissues!
    Thank you so very much for your advice and help I truly appreciate it!

  • I have an old G5 MAC I want to recycle but I need to clean my drive.  I can't find the diskette that came with the MAC to do this.  Any suggestions

    Any suggestions on wiping my MAC drives clean if I don't have the diskette that came with it?

    Don't mean to upstage a level 6 Tech but having just wiped my own G5 for reinstall, I know you can do it on the computer monitor.  If by "recycle" you mean to sell or give away the computer, go to Disk Utilities (in Application/Utilities) and hit the erase button, choose the 35x swipe and it's supposed to clean it completely within a couple of hours.  I did the 7x wipe and got a sudo (single user que) showing nothing but the presence of BSD initiation and a "We're hanging here".  Did a reinstall and it's beautiful.

  • Can I change the Apple ID assigned to the iLife apps that came with the Mac on purchase?

    My wife and I own 3 apple devices. For ease we use one single Apple ID on all devices. Issue occured when my wife purchased the iMAC whilst I was overseas - during the in store set up (not knowing the impact) allowed the shop assistant set up a new Apple ID for her; resulting in the in built iLife apps (such as iPhoto) being associated to that Apple ID. We have since used the original Apple ID for everything on the MAC.
    The problem occurs when app updates for the original iLife Apps are released - I can't update them under our Apple ID.
    Can I delete iPhoto and re-install under our original ID without loosing all our photos - or is there an easier way to change the ID of the Apps?

    If you simply just changed the email associated with that appleid you can just delete and Re-download the apps.
    You can verify  the above step by going to the App Store on device > Updates>Purchased - if you see the app there just delete it from the home screen and redownload from the purchased section
    Now if you got rid of that account entirely, you will have to delete and re-purchase on your new account

  • Recently had to have our mac hd recovered.  Now I no longer have iPhoto.  Since it came with the mac when we purchased it, how can I get it restored without paying for it?

    We recently had to have our mac serviced and restored.  The hard drive was corrupted from an update.  The mac has been restored but we no longer have iPhoto.  The only option I see at Apple support is to purchase it again.  Is there a way I can get it back free of charge, since we already paid for it?

    You should be able to to to the App Store and download it again for free.  If often will show a price but when clicked on will revert to Installing and not cost you.
